CHANGE? Virginia Gubernatorial Race Heats Up as McAuliffe and Youngkin Vie for Votes. “Polling suggests the race leans in McAuliffe’s favor by anywhere from 8-10 points, though some believe it’ll be closer due to President Joe Biden’s falling popularity.”
CHANGE? Andrew Yang, Democrat Who Endorsed Joe Biden, To Start New Political Party. “It’s unclear whether Yang has already left the Democratic Party — which he identified with during his rise to prominence — or what role he sees the new party playing in politics going forward.”
It’s clear to me, even though I don’t agree with Yang on much of anything.
Nationally, Democrats are in complete thrall to their craziest supporters and more corrupt and incompetent leadership, and Yang doesn’t seem to be crazy, incompetent, or corrupt.
THIS SURE DOESN’T LOOK LIKE A COUNTRY THAT GAVE BIDEN 81 MILLION VOTES: Trump Embraced by Cops, Firemen, and Sports Fans as ‘F Biden’ Sweeps the Nation.
WHEN DO THEY APPOINT ZAMPOLITS TO ENSURE TOTAL LOYALTY TO THE PARTY? Biden Administration Orders Ideological Purge Of U.S. Military Academies.
I REMEMBER WHEN THE NFL ONLY FIGURATIVELY CRAPPED ALL OVER ITS FANS: Extremely Gross Scene At FedEx Field. “During today’s game between Washington and the Los Angeles Chargers, a fan recorded footage of water leaking into the stands. But the poor fans sitting in the path of the water quickly realized it wasn’t exactly fresh water.”
KRUISER’S MORNING BRIEF: America-Hating Dems Hit All the Wrong Notes on 9/11 Anniversary. “The wearisome rampant Islamophobia fairy tale the Dems have been telling for the last 20 years is not only insulting but — whenever the Dems are in charge of anything — dangerous. As I wrote last week, they’re in perpetual denial about who the real bad guys are. That blind spot is a real detriment when crafting policy upon which the nation’s safety depends.”
A YEAR LATE: A Year After Sending Cops To A Kid’s Home, A Colorado Springs School District Apologizes.
Widefield School District 3 handed the apology letter last month to the parents of 13-year-old Isaiah Elliott. CPR News obtained a copy.
It says, in part, “The District deeply regrets the impact this incident had on the Elliotts, and apologizes to Isaiah for any embarrassment or discomfort he may have experienced.”
On Aug. 27, 2020, as students, educators and parents across the state adjusted to pandemic remote learning, an art teacher spotted what she believed to be a toy gun on Isaiah Elliott’s screen.
The incident led to his suspension — which has since been reversed — and to school leaders sending two school resource officers to the boy’s home.
Just in case you didn’t catch that, they called the cops for what they “believed to be a toy gun.”

SO MUCH FOR THAT BIG MOMENT HE WAS SUPPOSED TO BUY HIMSELF BEFORE HE BUNGLED THE BUGOUT: Biden Will Not Deliver Live Remarks on 9/11 Anniversary.
“DON’T UNDERESTIMATE JOE’S ABILITY TO F*** THINGS UP”: Grateful Migrants in Pennsylvania Send Thousands of Dollars to ISIS.
REAL JOURNALISM: RealClearInvestigations’ Jan. 6-BLM Side-by-Side Comparison. “Many in the political and media establishment consider the Jan. 6 U.S. Capitol riot to be one of America’s darkest episodes. Others say the nationwide protests last summer over George Floyd’s murder were worse. With polling indicating Americans see two sides to the story – and major media dwelling on only one – RealClearInvestigations has developed the database below allowing readers to draw their own conclusions.”
What a great resource.
BECAUSE OF COURSE HE DOES: Paul Krugman Gushes Over Biden’s Fascistic Vaccine Mandate.
ANALYSIS: TRUE. Yes, Biden blew it. “Biden set an artificial deadline and sleepwalked toward it, igniting a frantic effort in which NATO and non-NATO nations engaged to transit as many of their citizens, residents, and terrified Afghan allies as possible out of the country while Biden contracted with the Taliban to provide perimeter security at the Kabul airport. Over 100,000 people got out, but many more were left behind, including American citizens and permanent residents. Biden congratulated himself. ”

HE’S AN INTERNATIONAL EMBARRASSMENT: Taliban Planning to Steal Joe Biden’s 9/11 Anniversary Thunder. “While the White House insists the Taliban is ‘businesslike and professional,’ the Taliban is going about the rough business of re-establishing a hardcore Islamist Emirate atop the rubble of Biden’s bungled bugout.”
WORKPLACE: California passes landmark bill targeting Amazon’s algorithm-driven rules. “Under the bill, warehouses will be required to disclose to government agencies – and to the employees – the quotas and metrics used to track workers. It would ban penalties for ‘time off-task’, which discourage workers from using the bathroom or taking other necessary breaks. It also prohibits retaliation against workers who complain.”
BIDENFLATION: Producer inflation accelerated in August, as wholesale prices rose record 8.3% from a year ago. “The data comes amid heightened inflation fears fed by supply chain issues, a shortage of various consumer and producer goods and heightened demand related to the Covid-19 pandemic. Federal Reserve officials expect inflationary pressures to ease through the year, but they have remained stubbornly persistent, with Friday’s numbers indicating that the trend likely will continue.”
Previously: Federal Reserve calls inflation ‘transitory’ as it keeps interest rates near zero.
CHANGE: Texas Gov. Abbott signs law against tech firms banning users for content. “Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed into law a bill that prohibits large social media companies from banning users over their political opinions, attracting the criticism of free speech activists.”

Matt Margolis: Joe Biden Makes Me Wish I Hadn’t Take the Vaccine. “I chose to get vaccinated, but I’d never want anyone to get vaccinated against their will—which is essentially what Biden is proposing here. Maybe people will still technically have a choice, but who wants to choose between employment or vaccination? No one should have to be put in that position.”
Paula Bolyard: The Dirty Little Secret About Biden’s Vaccine Mandate That No One Wants to Talk About. “While I’d love to believe that Americans will finally rise up and say ‘enough is enough,’ there’s a problem: Americans want a vaccine mandate. In fact, millions of our fellow citizens have been begging the government to force shots into all our arms.”
Stacey Lennox: Why Does the U.S. Ignore Data on Kids and COVID-19 From Other Nations? “The CDC owes parents the data to make appropriate risk-based decisions for their children before getting them vaccinated.”

HMM: Yale study identifies those at risk of breakthrough COVID-19 infections.
The new study, published in The Lancet Infectious Diseases, looked at around 1,000 hospitalized COVID-19 patients admitted to the Yale New Haven Health System between March and July this year. Only 54 of those admissions were fully vaccinated, affirming the strong protection vaccines offer against severe COVID-19.
Of those 54 fully vaccinated patients, around half were completely asymptomatic, having been admitted to hospital for other reasons and their COVID-19 status only being picked up through incidental SARS-CoV-2 testing. Fourteen patients ended up critically ill, requiring oxygen support, and four ended up in intensive care. Three of these patients ultimately died from COVID-19.
The median age of those 14 severely ill COVID-19 patients was 80, and several pre-existing co-morbidities were noted in the study. Twelve of those patients were suffering cardiovascular disease, nine were overweight, seven had diabetes and seven had some kind of pre-existing lung disease.
So the same people as you’d see getting non-breakout infections.
